The stories that come from Iowa
about cruel evictions ordered by a
syndicate of English capitalists, who
owns large tract of land which they
purchased from the McGregor West
ern Railroad Company, seem scarcely
credible. 1t is stated that the evictors
have been as heartless as any in
Ireland, and that in some cases women
over 60 years of age have been taken
from sick beds and turned out in the
storm. Affidavits are being collected
which will be laid before Congress
this winter The government land
grant will be scrutinized carefully and
every effort will be made to reclaim it.
These stories may turn out to be ex-
aggerated, of course, but they should
be thoroughly investigated. Evictions
are not an English fashion We ought
to import.

WASHINGTON, October 1O.-Edward
A. Stevenson, Governor of Idaho, sub
mitted his annual report to the Secre-
tary of the Interior, in which he gives
the following statistics: Population,
81 $50, an increase of $4,000 over
1880; assessed valuation of taxable
property, $20,441,1 1872, increase SO,
100000 over last year; number of
cattle, 442, 1868; sheep, COZ, 248; hogs,
go, AL; horses 1872, 1868. The loss of
stock last winter did not exceed %
per cent. The production of gold,
silver and lead during the year ending
September 80, is estimated by the
assay Office as follows: Gold, $2,195,
429; silver, "a, 633, 100; lead, 81, 1876,
900. The Governor protests against
the inadequate postal facilities. In the
matter of the proposed
DIVISION OF THE TERRITORY
and annexation of parts to other politi-
cal bodies, the Governor enters a
strong protest and says: oThis scheme
of annexation and division, born as it
was in local jealousy and petty spite,
fostered by political hatred and par
tisan spleen, advocated by many politi-
cal jobbers and tricksters, Is thorough
ly distasteful to the majority of the
people of Idaho, and repugnant to the
best interests of the Territory" and
adds: ave desire to be let alone, to
preserve our identity as Idaho undi-
vided, entire, until in our good time
we come in full consciousness of the
justice of our claim,

Goyernorrecommendstha that four United
States Judges be provided for Idaho,
instead of three, as at present; that
delegates from the Territories be
vested with the same rights and priv
ileges of Legislation as members of
Congress from the States; that the
people of the Territory be allowed to
vote for President and Vice-President;
that the Alien Land act be so amend
ed as not to apply to mineral lands in
the Territories; that the Territory be
given right to lease school and univer-
sity lands for limited number of

A LAND QUESTION sETTLED.-The
Secretary of the Interior received the
following communication the other
day from a young lady residing in
Colorado: "Please answer question
in which l am greatly interested.
Supposing young woman has filed

land, and young man has pre-emp-
ton claim joining and in the same

must the young woman dispose of her

lowed retain the claim, must the young
man dispose of his'n?" The gallant
Secretary, it is gratifying to know,
decided all the points in his time,

undisturbed; in which there is a tacit
injunction to all who viii 90 and do

One of the best preventives of
crime is speedy, prompt arraignment,
trial and punishment of the party
committing the crime Delays in trial
and punishment of criminals are as
dangerous to the good order, peace
and quietudc of community, as they
are in any of the affairs of every day
life. The prompt, speedy action of
Judge Lynch's officers and of vigilant
committees are greater terrors to evil
doors than all the punishnents of
courts that drag their slow lengths
along Then the courts that deal
most promptly with its criminals do
most to check crime and do most for
the welfare of the community they
serve and protect. We are no advo-
cate for Judge Lynch's methods of
melting out justice neither do we favor
the thwarting of justice by long pro-
tracted delays. Every criminals should
have fair impartial trial but they
should not be postponed upon techni-
calities and frivolous pretexts until
the patience of the court itself is ex-
hausted and the facts of the case for
gotten. The prompt action of Judge
Hays of the third district of this Ter.
Is a holy terror to the evil doer and
the people approve it because they see
that the dockets of the respective
counties show diminution of crime
in his district. And may the dockets
show less and less until they cease to
appear in toto.

Bill Nye and the Faith Cure.

Sometimes the treatment works well
on disease, but Injuries the patient in
some other way. For instance, a friend
of mine was eleven months eradicating
an ingrowing nail by the faith cure.
He kept that toe poulticed with his
faith for nearly year, and at the end
of that time had the satisfaction of
knowing that the nail was all right;
but, alas, it was done at the sacrifice
of his faith. The first time | met
him and talked with him / saw by
the look in his staring eyes that he
did not believe anything / said. Some
times a cure is worked by the laying
on of hands and sometimes that is
omitted. The laying on of hands is
not repulsive to me in all cases, but
it can be oyerdone. In riding from
Chicago to Portland, Oregon, l once
had watch which gave me a good
deal of trouble by outstepping the
local time along the road as we jour
neyed west. A gentlemen on the
train, who was a psychic healer, laid
his hands on the diseased watch and
and it disappeared. The chief objec-
ton to psychic healing is the absolute
failure in long-standing cases of poll
evil, blind staggers and CHAMBERS. In
a nutshell, the theory is that if you
believe you are healed you are healed,
but the most stubborn resistance to
this doctrine is met with among horses
and mules. Neither is this method
of cure successful among men in cases
of hemorrhages, emotional insanity or
clans. Amputation and operations
for strabismus still have to be done
in the old way, and vaccination by
by faith does not seem to satisfy the
board of health. / am free to confess,
however, that my first impression
about faith cure was erroneous. 1t is
not method of curing enfeebled or
broken down of health, but it is a
means, without medicine, of treating
by psychic influences all diseases, from
the insidious and death-dealing pip to
the longwaisted and rapacious tape
worm. am treating this subject as
absolutely devoid of anything mirac-
lous and on the theory that an all-wise
providence is not going to reconsider
its DEGREES of disease or death simply
because the suggestion is made by an
unknown person who is getting so
per pop for making the request. Still,
i do not wish to be unfair. / do not
wish to be put down as the relentless
foe of psychic healing, and so am
going to give it another trial. / am
now trying it on my hair.

SUFFRAGE AND THE BIBLE.
Divine Authority to Sustain the Cause of
Woman Suffrage.

Divine Authority to Sustain the Cause of
Woman Suffrage.
Opponents of woman suffrage, says
Rev. j. W. Bashford, generally 60 back
as far as Genesis for arguments, but
even then they do not 60 back far
enough. They stop with true account
of a false relation into which man and
woman were thrown by sin, and quote
this account as the original charter for
mankind: "Thy desire shall be to thy
husband and he shall rule over thee.
If they will only go back to the crea-
ton of Adam and Eve, and to their nat
ural and divine relation before the
fall, they will fail to find sentence
which hints at the subordination of
woman. Woman was not made in
mans image, neither was the dominion
of the world committed to him alone.
On the contrary, the record plainly
says: I'm the image of God created he
him, and God said: Let them have
dominion over all the earth.
Now when Adam and Eve descended
from the sphere of spirituality to the
animal sphere, when they turned from
life of faith to follow appetite, God
said to man that even nature should
rebel against his animal life: THE
earth shall bring forth thorns and
thistles." The history of every drunk
ard and man of lust proves that nature
fights against him, and confirms the
prophecy. And God said to woman
that in this lower animal life with man
she would be constantly worsted;
Thy desire shall be to thy husband
and he shall rule over thee" Six
thousand years of history have proved
the terrible truth of this prophecy.
And yet this declaration of woman's
subordination-which does not belong
at all to the account of her original ere.
alton, and which is directly due to SIN,
and which we see sprang from the
very nature of the two and from the
sinful contest on which they then en-
tered-is quoted repe atedly as the di
vine declaration of the ideal state o.
the sexes, and we are constantly told
that any attempt to change it is VIC
lation of the divine constitution. Al
well might one declare that the thorn'
and briers which God said the eartl
should bring forth, on account o
mans sin, are an expression of TIL
ideal attitude of nature toward man
and that we violate the divine consti
tuition in tilling the soil and improv
ing its products.
Again, the whole effort of Christ wa
to restore to mankind what was lost il
Adam. "For as in Adam all die, so il
Christ shall all be made alive"
Christianity is completely to restor
that which was lost in Adam. how ca
